Body Image

Over the course of years, people have become more accepting of body fat. We created the phrase “fat shaming” on social media on anyone who mock other base on their body size. Now the idea of skinny, lean, or thin have subsequently build a bad connotation. People use phrases “You should be happy. You’re not fat. The media have distorted body image”. Before I go any further I want to say that I always believe that a person should strive for the body that they want if they are not happy just make sure to lose weight in the correct way, which is through healthy diet and routine exercise. “Hey, if you want that Victoria Secret body, then go for it”. But you have to know that you have to eat healthy and exercise not skipping meals. I’ve seen people who weighs 400 lbs. or so, still holding fried chicken next to their mouth. THAT IS NOT HEALTHY!!!  They are on the verge of dying from diabetes. There’s a difference in telling someone, who weighs 150 lbs., to lose weight and telling someone, who weighs 400 lbs., to lose weight. The latter is not consider as fat shaming; that person will definitely die if they don’t change. Their lives are at risk. The Government produced the BMI for general public to understand the average weight based on height and age. Unless you have a medical condition, you should not be weighting 500 lbs.
